SYNOPSIS

ARGUMENTS

- geom

geometry to which the doodad is added

- section

section, if any, to which the doodad is added

- name

name of the new doodad

DESCRIPTION

Xkb provides functions to add a single new element to the top-level keyboard
geometry. In each case the
num_ *
fields of the corresponding structure is incremented by 1. These functions do
not change
sz_*
unless there is no more room in the array. Some of these functions fill in the
values of the element's structure from the arguments. For other functions, you
must explicitly write code to fill the structure's elements.

The top-level geometry description includes a list of
geometry properties.
A geometry property associates an arbitrary string with an equally arbitrary
name. Programs that display images of keyboards can use geometry properties as
hints, but they are not interpreted by Xkb. No other geometry structures refer
to geometry properties.

A
doodad
describes some visible aspect of the keyboard that is not a key and is not a
section.
XkbAddGeomDoodad
adds a doodad with name specified by
name
to the geometry
geom
if
section
is NULL or to the section of the geometry specified by
section
if
section
is not NULL.
XkbAddGeomDoodad
returns NULL if any of the parameters is empty or if it was not able to allocate
space for the doodad. If there is already a doodad with the name
name
in the doodad array for the geometry (if
section
is NULL) or the section (if
section
is non-NULL), a pointer to that doodad is returned. To allocate space for an
arbitrary number of doodads to a section, use the
XkbAllocGeomSectionDoodads
function. To allocate space for an arbitrary number of doodads to a keyboard
geometry, use the
XkbAllocGeomDoodads
function.
